'lO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONOERN:

Be it known that l', HOSEA WILLARD, of Vergennes, in the county of Addison, and State-of Vermont, have invented'a new and improved Buttcr-VVo1ker; and I'do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable'those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to a new Aand improved machine for working butter:

And it consists in combining a rod or spindle, (having attaehedrto it one or more wings, one of which is rigidly attached thereto, while the other may be revolved,) with a shallow pan, in which the butter to be worked is placed, as-Will be hereinafter moreifully described.

Figure 1 represents a top or plan View of the butter-Worker, showing the parts of which it is composed arranged according to my invention.

Figure 2 is a cross-section of g. 1 through the line a: :'v.

Similar letters ofY reference indicate `corresponding parts.

A represents the pan.

B is the rod or spindle.

C is the wing `which is fast to the rod, and immovable thereon.

D is the wing, which has a shank, e, attached to it, which shank passes through the rod B.

The shank has a hole through it, so that it can beattachcd to the ro'd by a key or pin, and when so attached, it will turn wholly or partially round, and adjust itself to the shape and position of the butter in the pan.

The shanll: and pin' or key are seen atf.

`Should there be no more'than one wing on the rod, that one may be .made faster made to revolve, and should there be more than two wings, one or more may be-'astor made to revolve, as may be desired.

Gr is the handle on the rod, for the operator to take hold of in working the butter.

The rod is left free, restingon the top edge' of the pan, as seen at 7L.

The other end of the rod passes through a hole in the end ofthe pan, as seen at It will be seen that the rod may be moved-either way laterally and longitudinally, and the wings be brought in contact with all parts of the lump of butter for working it, and separating the liquid therefrom, as may be desired or necessary.' l

lI claim. asnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent-l The rod or spindle B, with the' wings C and D connected therewith, in combination with a tray or trough, and operating substantially as and for the purposes herein shown 'and described.

The above specification ofmy' invention signed by me, this 28th day of March, 1868.
